The Brazilian football transfer window officially closed on September 2nd , preventing new signings from arriving in the country. However, the closure doesn't prevent players from leaving, as other international markets are still open. One name under consideration is center forward Juninho, who could move to Europe.


The striker, who was already considered a top contender to leave Flamengo this summer, remains in negotiations. According to Fabrício Lopes, who covers the club on social media , Juninho may be close to returning to Qarabag in Azerbaijan.


POSSIBLE EXIT OF THE ATTACKER


Internally, the club's board of directors considers the possibility of releasing Juninho to be positive. The assessment is that the move could create space in the squad and, at the same time, enhance the player's value in a new cycle in European football.

It is worth noting that, at the beginning of this season, Flamengo had acquired the rights to the striker from Qarabag himself , which makes the possible loan a turnaround in the initial planning for the player.


JUNINHO'S FUTURE

With the transfer window still open in some countries, the coming weeks are expected to be decisive for the center forward's future. If the deal goes through, Juninho will have the opportunity to resume his European career and once again represent Qarabag.
